Overview[]
Each player is given a deck of 30 random cards that use some form of RNG, including random targeting, random summoning, Discover, etc.
Notes[]
- Decks can also include Lorewalker Cho and Millhouse Manastorm, which aren't random but fit the chaotic nature of the brawl.
Strategy[]
Every card given is random, but one is certain to have a random effect to it. Surviving is all about luck from randomness and strategy. The gameplay is very similar to Encounter at the Crossroads - simply play for tempo and win through attrition. You can't control your deck and you and your opponent have unpredictable cards. If you're in a losing position, you can always hope for an RNG bailout.
There are far more random minions than spells and far more neutral random cards than class ones, leaning the brawl towards neutral minions.
